Potomack School Dedication

On November 15, 1998 Potomack Intermediate School was officially dedicated. This school allows North Berkeley to lead the county in offering all day kindergarten. I was pleased to participate and share in this dedication of our county's newest school. The school is high-tech and has an excellent team of staff and resources headed by Principal of the Year Rodney Woods. The dedication brought together much of the talent and resources of North Berkeley including parents, the community, the school business partner and neighbor DuPont, the school board and the legislature. DuPont donated the land on which the school was built. As we get ready to begin a new millennium, we remembered the past from George Washington and the unique spelling of the school to the future of assisting with the next generation. The dedication made those present proud of the commitment the community places on education. I was honored to take the dedication key from Superintendent Manny Arvon and give it to DuPont manager Max Burham to where it ultimately was passed to fifth grade student Alyssa Petrasek. Congratulations North Berkeley!
